Supersonic guided missile has forward-directed array of rotating aero-spikes synchronized with internal radar or infrared detector

摘要

A supersonic guided missile has a nose cone with a number of forward-directed aero-spikes (2) over a e.g. an infrared detector or radar antenna (5). The aero-spike array can be rotated around the missile longitudinal axis. The aero-spikes can describe more than one concentric circle. Their rotation is induced by the oncoming airflow. The antenna is fixed. The rotation of the aero-spikes is synchronized with the radar aerial information capture operation.
